Summary

This research develops a spatial “GPS” for lung cancer screening by mapping CT scans into a shared coordinate system. By identifying high-risk regions for malignant nodules, it supports radiologists and AI in improving diagnostic accuracy, decision-making, and interpretability, transforming screening from broad search to targeted, data-driven precision.
